Why did Jesus say "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Why do Matthew and Mark quit Jesus's words on the cross "Eli Eli lama sabachtani" / "Eloi Eloi lama sabachtani" in Aramaic? In this video, I discuss the phrase and look at both the Aramaic behind the name as well as this section from the books of Matthew and Mark in Syriac (Aramaic) to see if there is any further insights behind the Aramaic forms.
Aramaic is used in numerous places in every translation of the New Testament. In this series, I go over the different Aramaic words and phrases in the New Testament and offer some commentary on their use as well as their importance.
